Aggregate Devices not working

Whenever i make a new aggregate device, once i close the Audio/Midi Setup, the Aggregate Device is gone. It wont open in Logic and if i reopen Audio/Midi Setup it isn't there....only the default. What should i do?

I'm having the same problem. I'm trying to use Ardour (free digital audio software) and you have to do some very specific things with the Aggregate device to make it work, but whenever I make one its gone the next time I open the Audio/Midi window.
Anyone have any answers on this issue?

Help? Aggregate devices not working in Lion

Since buying a new Mac Mini Server for my audio work using Logic Pro 9 I cannot use aggregate devices. The system preferences as well as audio midi setup will not remember my aggregate devices that I create. Also when using them the audio becomes glitchy and a terrible noise happens. I didnt have any issues like this in 10.6.8. I cannot believe that Apple would let this happen for so long. There are many people in the pro audio world that rely on using aggregate devices and with them not working three versions into Lion this has become maddening.
This is not a third party issue. This is not a hardware issue. This is a serious problem that takes the saying that "Macs just WORK" and flushes it right down the toilet.
I spoke w a guy named Steve at Apple pro audio and he couldnt get me off the phone fast enough. What the ____ Apple??
PLEASE someone fix this? I wont try 10.7.4 as it seems to make Logic work even worse.
Please...I do not want to have to go back to using pro tools and PC's.

please and thanbk you Eriksimon! Full details - Mac Mini Server running Lion 10.7.3, Logic Pro 9.1.7 I use up to three Metric Halo 2882+DSP 2d units with the latest MIO console, drivers and firmware. Many other Metric Halo and other multiple device users are experiencing this and it is maddening. Ive been on Logic since 7 and am a analog-digital component level tech / electronics engineer / audio engineer with a decent knowledge of software.
I also use up to two McMix (now Avid artist mix) with latest version of Eucontrol as well as V-control pro with my iPad to control Logics transport etc when not in control room and a Novation sl49 compact USB keyboard with latest Automap version All that worked together quite well on 10.6.8 - logic 9.1.5 on my late 2008 Mac Book Pro but that system was slow...so I was hoping that Apple had Lion "in a cage" when I went out to buy this new Mac Mini Server.... I guess I should have waited.
I am having these aggregate device problems on a totally new from Mac Store Mac Mini Server Quad Core i7, did a clean install of Logic and the Metric Halo software /driver /firmware package.
Nothing else installed on this new Mac Mini but Logic 9.1.7 and MIO package.
Please....help get this bug fixed??

Aggregate Device not working

When I put 3 microphones and a midi keyboard into a powered hub, each microphone will work properly when accessed individually, but when I try to use an aggregate device with those microphones I get no input at all. It works fine on my older MBP, but will not work with my new one (only 2 months old). It worked with a new unit at the Genius bar, but no Apple technicians seem to be able to figure out why. The logic board has been replaced and still has the same problem. What else might I look for?

I launch GB.
Select New Podcast Episode, create it.
Open Preferences, select Audi/Midi, select Aggregate Device, close Prefs.
GB says it's using the AD but one mic is ignored.
When creating the AD the settings are 44100.0 Hz and 2ch-16bit.
I've tested the USB ports with Plantronics headsets separately -- all work, nothing inadvertantly muted.
Aggregate Device isn't aggragating when the two mics are connected even though they are both seen in Audio/Midi Setup. One mic is ignored completely when I select the AD in Preferences. On the MacPro's left side, the USB port nearest the palm rest is the only port working (when attempting GB with the AD).

Dual-Boot; Restart and boot other o/s USB devices not working

I have issue with my msi z97-g43 mobo and Windows dual o/s PC.
Booting with win-8.1, USB devices working very well.Restaring windows 8.1 have NOT any issue.
After shutdown & start PC, choosing to boot windows 7 on bootmanager, USB devices not working in Win-7.
System no hang or occur any error/BSOD message.All startup programs run as normal.
I tried to re-plug usb devices but notting happens... Still not working
But after the win-8.1 shutdown, if i switch off PSU power button, watting ~1 munute for discharge.
After power up PC and boot with windows 7 all usb devices works normaly.
I checked all internal connections. 2 times disassembly all hardware and re-built system, nothing changed.All windows updates and latest drivers installed.
I'm sure other H/W is OK, but I thnik this mobo have a fault.

Hi there @Sweeto684
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
I understand that your fingerprint reader is not working and that your system is running very slow, but please clarify what you mean by saying you lost the recovery data. Are you referring to the factory recovery image stored on your system, or are you meaning something else?
I am happy to help you with all of this, but need to know more before I can make some useful recommendations. I want to avoid having you do something that could cause a problem with something else, until I know what problem really is.

In My IPhone the sound device not working properly. I can here the sound through head set only.kindly send an idea ti solve this problems

Hello. I sent my WRT1900AC V1 to Linksys four days ago (Monday) via UPS with a RMA. Linksys paid the shipping and everything. The router is still in route, and it should arrive to their offices tomorrow. Once they receive the WRT1900 AC V1, they are going to send me an EA8500 as a replacement. But I have been reading the comments about the EA8500 here in the forum and it seems to have the same problems. I guess the firmware is extremely flawed in both routers (maybe it is almost the same code?). Anyway, I will try the EA8500 and I hope it works. I bought a temporary router from Walmart and I paid $35 for it. It is a Belink N600 DB. I can't believe that a $35 router is working a lot, lot, lot better than my previous $250 WRT1900AC router. Unbelievable. If the EA8500 doesn't work, I'm going to try and get my money back from Linksys, or contact The Consumerist or someone to get my money back and get a Nighthawk instead.

Hello Chambless,
The troubleshooting steps below can help get your iPhone to charge.
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.

Aggregate Device not recognising Built-In Input

How do I get my Aggregate Device to recognise the ‘Built-In Input” in my iMac?
In the Audio Devices window, I have set my Aggregate Device to be the sound input master to allow me to choose ‘Aggregate Device’ as the Input Device in Logic Pro X .
This, I presume, means I do not have to switch between devices such as ‘Line In’ and my audio interface (Saffire) within Logic. I can just set it to ‘Aggregate’ and happily switch between tracks with different input types automatically catered for by the aggregate device.
However, although the ‘Aggregate’ selection in Logic recognises my audio interface input OK, to use my iMac’s own ’Built In Input’ I am forced to manually select ‘Built In Input’ as the Audio Input - the Aggregate setting does not seem to be recognise it and I can’t figure out why. Everything else seems to work fine.
My set up: In the Audi Devices window, my audio interface is first in line, with the ‘Built in Input’ next. Both are selected for Use. The audio interface is set as the master clock and has no Drift Correction enabled. The ‘Built In Input’ has Drift Correction enabled. All devices are set to the same sample rate (‘Format’).
Thanks.

1) How have you concluded that the Built In input isn't there? - No sound (which I do get if I manually select the very same 'Built-In Input' source in Logic).
2) Are there only 3 pairs of inputs when you use the Aggregate Device? - Not sure what you mean. It's as shown in the screenshots.
3) Have you tried all available (pairs of) inputs from the Aggregate device (should be 8, or 4 pairs) in Logic? - Not sure what you mean. In Logic I am merely selecting the Input Device source in Preferences - I select Sapphire, Built-In Input all OK; select Aggregate and it doesn't recognise the Built-In input.
4) And what kind of signal are you feeding the built-in input. - Line out from my eDrums (sep. right and left channel into single, stereo input on my iMac). Again, works fine but only when I manually select 'Built-In Input' source in Logic.
Incidentally, just tried making the Aggregate Device the 'use this device for sound input' master (with and without Drift Correction for In-Built Audio selected) and... no change.
What I mean and what is crucial is to know, is whether you have set your track(s) to the right input(s). On my screenshots you see how it should also look for you on stereo or mono audio tracks. 8 mono or 4 stereo inputs.

Aggregate Device Not Recording Both Inputs

Hi,
I'm trying to run two audio inputs into one (A usb mic and the built in input) on my early 2008 macbook pro. I'm trying to use the Aggregate device function on the mac. Ill create the device and try to test it out in either quick time video/audio recorder, or audacity and when i look a tthe live monitoring of the input (aggregate device) it looks like its working fine. Ill test each input and make sure that its hearing each and it does. But whenever i record something, again in either audacity or the quick time, it only records one of the inputs. Im losing my mind with this problem and ive tried everything. Ive tried switching the **** source around in the aggregate device window and ive messed with the drift functions, whatever those do. Please help, can't figure this out and i need it fixed asap

Upon running Norton Security Suite Diagnostic Report on my HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC on a Windows 7 Home Premium platform, it shows 2 (hidden) devices not working: Antilog32, and AODDriver4.1--Code 24.

On the General tab for device status it says: "This device is not present, is not working properly, or does not have all its drivers installed. (Code 24)" The only option available when I click
on properties of both devices is Start. When I click on Start for Antilog32, this message shows: "The system encountered the following error when it attempted to start the service: The system cannot find the file specified." For AODDriver4.1, the
message when you click Start on Driver tab is: "The system encountered the following error when it attempted to start the service: The system cannot find the path specified." I do not know how to proceed or
how to fix this, or where to find a solution. Please help!

Hello pds48478480,
Do you mean you got the error code 24 in Norton Security Suite Diagnostic Report?
Please share us a screenshot for better analyzation.

Windows 7 x64 USB AUDIO DEVICE - Device Not Working - Mac Pro

I have a mac pro early 2009. I had vista x64 installed, everything was great. I had 2 audio devices under device manager, one was listed as HD (digital) and one device was listed as analog audio.
When I played games and wanted the external speakers (using the digital out connection) I had the HD (digital) audio device enabled.
When I played games and wanted to use a headphone/microphone combo, I had the analog audio device enabled.
Switching between the two was as easy as clicking the audio device icon and clicking on whichever device I wanted.
Now that I installed windows 7 x64, I have a HD (optical out) device in device manager and it works perfectly. Unfortunately, I also have another device listed called "USB Audio Device" and it shows a yellow exclamation mark next to it and it is NOT working properly.
I tried many suggestions on here, which included downloading the cirrus logic audio driver and picking different models, as well as trying the snow leopard install disk driver for cirrus logic, and even tried installing the realtek analog driver. The closest I got to getting anything to work was installing the realtek analog driver. It installed fine up to the point when windows said "this driver is not tested, do you wish to install it anyway?" and I click yes, but then it pauses for a few seconds and the same message comes up again and repeats in a endless loop until you say "no, do not install driver" and then it does a uninstall of the driver.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so were you able to fix it?
Thanks

You can ignore USB audio, you want RealTek HD Audio. There are or can be some of those yellow alerts that are safe to ignore. Buried somewhere in Apple Support BootCamp technotes.
You can use installer from Realtek or zip file in which case just uncompress and update the driver from inside Device Manager. Nice thing, you can rollback a driver if you want to, or totally uninstall and then reinstall.

Device not work correctly

sometime USB port not work correctly, the device only flashes once and then off, the process of "system" increases the CPU to 100%. then I reboot and it works back
